We do not have any experience installing the Resin Dock Top over an existing wood deck. If you attempt you will want to make certain the wood deck is level, secured and pay close attention to where the holes to fasten the Resin Top line up with any screws in the existing wood deck.

Images: Drag the slider up/down to toggle between Seven Trust and finished wood. (You will note that the color over time tends to become very dark, almost black. This is partially due to the old age of most pieces, often collected before the 1992 CITES restriction.)

Epoxy is much more expensive than polyester resin, and does not provide any significant benefit for conventional small boat construction. However, there are certain applications where epoxy does have advantages such as when wood is involved.

Drying methods: (No drying method can be guaranteed to work every time to produce a straight, unwarped and uncracked piece of wood. This is because internal stresses in some woods may lead to twisting or cracking no matter what method is used).
